What about making the printer stopped in cups, and then make sure
programs actually don't print to it? (ie. changing something in the UI
when printer is stopped)

If the user really has thrown away the printer, let the *user* delete it
from system-config-printer. It ain't that hard to find and figure out,
most of those config tools are pretty good AND understandable.
